7. If you want to finish playback of the audio CD, press
[EXIT] several times to return to the Play screen.
8. Press the CD-R/RW drive’s EJECT button to eject the
disc.
It may take a period of several seconds before the disc is
actually ejected.
When an audio disc is inserted into the CD-R/RW drive, the
message “Now Checking...” may remain on the screen for a
relatively long time. This period of time is required for
reading of the data stored on the audio CD and it is not the
result of a malfunction.
Enabling Playback on CD
Players (Finalize)
If you intend to play a audio CD that was written using the
BR-900CD’s CD-R/RW drive on a standard CD player, the
audio CD must be finalized. Audio CD-R/RW discs can be
finalized at any time to enable playback on this type of
player.
1. Insert the CD-R/RW disc to be finalized into the BR-
900CD’s CD-R/RW drive.
The drive’s access indicator will begin to flash. Wait until
this indicator stops flashing and turns off before
proceeding.
2. Press [CD-R/RW].
The CD menu screen will appear.

What is finalizing?
In addition to the audio data itself, other information
describing the position and time of this data is also
written to audio CDs. This process is known as
“Finalizing.”
If you finalize:
When finalization has been carried out, you will be able
to play your audio CD on a standard CD player. Note,
however, that you will no longer be able to add songs to
a finalized CD.
Furthermore, the finalization of audio CDs containing
only one short song is wasteful, since the remaining
empty space on such discs can no longer be used.
For this reason, you should aim to carry out finalizing of
a CD disc only when it is nearly full of songs.
If you don’t finalize:
It will not be possible to play your audio CD on a
standard CD player until it has been finalized; however,
you can keep adding songs to the disc until this process
is carried out. Whenever you want to play your audio
CD on a standard CD player, you should perform
finalization.
